Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles?

This is an email I just replied to a friend of mine about this: Just for reference I’m vinyl only now.  @andera 

Yes. I know it got really strange. That’s why I recommended to only read the first page. This is the analog forum and you can see a bias towards analog but no definite  side against digital. Once the post started to get popular it attracted the wackos. What a stupid post anyway inferring that people that listen to digital aren’t audiophiles. I was once digital only for a few years and was just as much of an audiophile then as I am now. 

"Perhaps the brain activity of someone who listens to a lot of digital music would show up as a series of blocks on the EEG graph."

Perhaps it would be a lots of jitter. Wait, it already looks like jitter. Nevermind, it was jitterkait’s EEG.

Yes and that is the thing about audiophiles. Most people think it means likes to listen to music. But it can also mean likes to listen to digital.
